Darlington, W: Memorials of John Bartram and Humphry Marshal

Excerpt from Memorials of John Bartram and Humphry Marshall: With Notices of Their Botanical ContemporariesIn selecting from among the several Biographical Notices of john bartram, hitherto published, the preference has been given to one written by his son wil liam, which appeared in the first volume of Prof. Barton's Medical and Physical Journal, in the year 1804. It is brief, and lacking in details; yet probably in the main more reliable than the others. But even that is obscure, and somewhat inaccurate, in the account it gives of the elder portion of the family.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
